painting lobster boats

Here's my latest painting.  It is from the WetCanvas.com monthly watercolor challenge.  I like it.  I did a bit of tracing to get the shapes right.  I made myself a sheet of graphite paper to help transfer the image.  I have a lot to learn about drawing and getting it right.  I wanted to focus on the painting part for this.

 
I like the bright orange boat and the little gull.  The tides in this area are crazy.  When the tide goes out the boats are stranded.  You can find the forum string with the original photo here.
 
I have a lot to learn, but I am having fun. That's what matters.
